Pure - Netflix

Editor

Pure tells the story of Noah Funk, a newly-elected Mennonite pastor,
who is determined to rid his community of drug traffickers by betraying
a fellow Mennonite to the police. But instead of solving the problem,
Noah's actions trigger an ultimatum from Menno mob leader Eli Voss: in
order to protect his family he must get involved in the illegal
operation. Noah decides that if he must work for the mob, he will
secretly gather enough evidence to dismantle the organization.\
Hidden from view, Old Order Mennonites exist in a world all their own,
dedicated to living the same plain lifestyle as their ancestors.
However, a tiny percentage of outlaw Mennonites controls one of the most
efficient drug trafficking operations in North America. Supplied by an
unholy alliance with the Juarez Cartel, their pipeline extends from
Mexico, through the U.S. and into Canada.\
Noah finds his beliefs and principles challenged every step of the way.
Struggling to save his soul and complete his mission, Noah receives help
from an unlikely source: his high school nemesis, local cop Bronco
Novak. With his law-enforcement career hanging by a thread, Bronco sees
the Menno mob case as his ticket to redemption.

Pure - Pure Heroine - Netflix

Pure Heroine is the debut studio album by New Zealand singer Lorde,
which was released through Universal, Lava, and Republic Records on 27
September 2013. After several unsuccessful sessions with songwriters,
Lorde was paired with Joel Little by A&R representative Scott
Maclachlan, who assisted with the album's production. Recording took
place at Golden Age Studios in Auckland. Pure Heroine has been described
as a dream pop, electronica and electropop album with minimalist
production, deep bass and programmed beats. The album received positive
reviews from most critics, many of whom praised its songwriting,
production, and Lorde's vocal ability. It appeared on several year-end
critics' lists, and was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 56th
Annual Grammy Awards. Pure Heroine deals with themes of youth and
critiques mainstream culture, exploring wealth, fame, consumer culture
and social status. The album is known for its impact on contemporary pop
music and its challenge to modern-day artists. Lorde released Pure
Heroine's lead single, “Royals”, to critical and commercial success; it
was followed by “Tennis Court”, “Team” and “Glory and Gore”. The album
debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 129,000
album-equivalent units, and topped the charts in 12 other markets. Pure
Heroine was one of 2014's best-selling albums. It was certified platinum
in the United Kingdom, double platinum in Canada and triple platinum in
Australia and the United States, selling more than three million copies
worldwide.
